Preparing for your Meet & Greet 

📌 Overview
At Proxify, the Meet & Greet (M&G) is one of the final steps in the application process. It’s your chance to connect directly with the client, learn more about the project, and showcase why you’re the right fit. Unlike skill tests or written applications, the M&G focuses on personal interaction, communication, and alignment with client expectations.

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions

🔹 About the Meet & Greet

Q: What is a Meet & Greet?
A: A Meet & Greet is a short, introductory meeting with a potential client. It usually lasts about 30 minutes, though in some cases it can run longer or require a follow-up call. While it may feel like an interview, its purpose is mutual: you and the client both decide if the collaboration is a good fit.

Q: Who manages the Meet & Greet process?
A: A Client Manager coordinates the process, supported by a Client Engineering Manager who helps evaluate your suitability. The Client Manager handles scheduling and ensures you’re prepared for the call.

Q: How is the meeting scheduled?
A: You’ll provide available time slots, which your Client Manager shares with the client. The client then selects the time that works best for them.

Q: Will I know details about the client in advance?
A: In most cases, yes—you’ll receive the client’s name and relevant context to prepare. If the client prefers confidentiality before the call, your Client Manager will provide as much background as possible.

🔹 Preparation Tips – How to Get Ready

• Research the client – Review their company, projects, and industry. Clients notice when you’ve prepared.

• Set up professionally – Use a quiet space with a neutral background (plain wall, plant, or minimal decor). Avoid distractions or sensitive items.

• Plan your introduction – Keep it short (2–3 minutes), relevant, and memorable. Don’t repeat your profile—add something new.

• Anticipate questions – Technical clients may ask technical questions; non-technical clients may focus on culture, teamwork, or goals.

• Prepare strengths & weaknesses – Share strengths that align with the role. For weaknesses, explain how you’ve worked to improve them.

• Show personality – Be ready to talk about hobbies or interests that reflect teamwork, creativity, or persistence.

🔹 Closing the Meeting

Q: Should I ask questions at the end?
A: Yes—always prepare at least one thoughtful question. Not asking anything can be seen as a lack of interest. Good options include asking about the team culture, goals for the first months, or challenges they’re hoping you can solve.

🔹 Do’s and Don’ts

✅ Do:

• Notify your Client Manager immediately if you are unable to attend, so it can be rescheduled.

• Redirect scheduling or availability questions back to your Client Manager.

• Share your impressions with your Client Manager after the call.

❌ Don’t:

• Make commitments you can’t keep.

• Read from a script.

• Look up information during the meeting—it’s noticeable and unprofessional.

🔹 Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Talking too much without answering the client’s needs.

• Giving generic answers instead of tailoring them to the role.

• Forgetting to prepare a closing question.

• Being too casual—treat the M&G as professionally as a job interview.

📌 Final Thought

The Meet & Greet is more than just a formality—it’s your chance to connect with the client, demonstrate professionalism, and confirm mutual expectations. By preparing well and approaching the conversation authentically, you’ll leave a strong impression and improve your chances of securing the engagement.
